How do I see compiler errors and what's wrong with this?

I think you might need to change your string comparison line from

if(mm.toString() == "Jan")

to

if(mm.toString().equals("Jan"))

Here's a link that describes the difference http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7520432/java-vs-equals-confusion

Thank you! I'm still learning... ;-) But much appreciated.

There is no reason to write the function you're working on. The functionality is already provided by ConnectIQ and it is wasteful. Under the covers, ConnectIQ likely has the month as an integer value, and then uses a lookup table to determine the language specific month name/abbreviation which it hands off to you. You're essentially undoing the localization work that is being done for you.

When you convert a Moment to a Gregorian.Info, you are given the option of what format you want it in. If you want numbers, use var info = Gregorian.info(moment, Time.FORMAT_SHORT). If you want abbreviated month names, replace Time.FORMAT_SHORT with Time.FORMAT_MEDIUM, and if you want full names, use Time.FORMAT_LONG.

Thank you, if only the docs gave an example of the FORMAT_SHORT, FORMAT_MEDIUM and FORMAT_LONG it would have helped!

@RUPERHAWKES Apologies for anything that's too vague in the API docs--we'll continue to refine and update them. I'll see that constant summary is updated with more specifics.

Many thanks - appreciated.
